Dott Projects
| Eco Design Challenge | |
| Education lies at the heart of Dott 07. After all, when it comes to sustainability and design, all of us - young and old - need to learn new skills. Dott’s objective is to equip the next generation with the insight and skills required to achieve one planet living. Eco Design Challenge asked Year 8 students across North East England two questions: ‘How big is your school’s ecological footprint?’ and ‘What design steps would make it smaller?’ We monitored their progress over the year, and you can read about how they fared in the Schools section. |

| Design and Sexual Health (DaSH) | |
| DaSH was a collaboration between Dott 07 and Gateshead Primary Care Trust (PCT), who worked together on design actions that would make sexual health screening and treatment services easier to access and use. The project aimed to develop a system where people would be seen by a local service within 48 hours of contact, and where the treatment path is clearly explained and suits the user’s needs. The team, led by Dr Louise Hulton of Design Options, began by conducting research to understand the daily lives of the people that policy-makers hope will use the service. |
